The First Registered Domain Name on the Internet
Or in other words, the oldest website on the internet. Yep - the very first webpage that appeared on the "World Wide Web" was a site with the name Symbolics Inc (which is now defunct, but in its heyday it was a computer company). Mostly known for making machines like the 3600 series model work stations.
CKEditor Adds a New Line & Tab - The 'Bug' Fix
After I replaced the outdated FCKEditor on one of our company sites with CKEditor, there was an annoying problem that kept happening with the output HTML. The editor was adding a new line and a tab for every HTML element, thus making the source look like crap! Here is the solution I used to fix this.
Printing Blocks in Drupal Nodes & Theme Template Files
Today at work I was given a task to put a Simple News block into a totally different spot in a website, a node. This goes a bit out of the standard Drupal way, because technically speaking, blocks should only end up in their own regions. However Drupal's API has a very nice way of doing this and I will show you how I did it in the following post.
Roundcube autoresponder (Goldfish & Autoreply plugin)
I wrote a tutorial recently explaining on how to configure Goldfish to work with your Postfix on a Linux server. When I finished doing the installation of my autoresponder, I quickly realized that I would need some kind of interface to let users add, change and enable/disable the auto reply messages. On our dedicated server we use Roundcube, so I realized that a plugin was required. I coded my first plugin for Roundcube to allow the port of Goldfish, its called "Autoreply". This tutorial will show you how to set up both of them!
Autoresponder for email - Goldfish
Recently I was put up against a challenge to make an auto responder work on our dedicated server that would automatically respond to emails when it has been set to do so. In our case we are running Ubuntu, postfix and roundcube that operate with a MySQL database to serve virtual users and multiple domains. I researched a few things out there, and tried one (YAA! auto responder). Which I couldn't get to work if my life depended on it.
Installing EasyPHP (5.3.0)
Most people who are developing web applications do not have access to an actual Linux server, and this tutorial will show you how to install a substitute so you can develop your applications on a virtual Linux server. This will enable you to use PHP, Apache and MySQL. on your Windows machine when developing.
Drupal 6 - Installation
This is the first part of the series of tutorials that I am going to write on how to work with Drupal. I was going to write a series of tutorials of how to code a PHP website from scratch and then decided that this is much more useful for the general public as developing with Drupal is much quicker and the base of the website (the framework) is already set up for you. People who don't know PHP yet will be able to learn what they need to work with Drupal, which is more then enough to go out and build a custom website down the road if your really feel like it.
